[Bug 286014] Re: kde print ignores duplex & copy options
Apparently, some of the issues mentioned in this bug are slowly getting fixed. At least it seems to be possible to control the duplexing (at least from okular), although it is awkward to do so. The QT print dialogue has its own duplexing option which is controlled independently from the printer one and that seems to default to no-duplex. This should default to the printer config setting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 Title: kde print ignores duplex & copy options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/286014/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Same here with Mint 8 printing from Okular over a network to a Brother laser printer: it 'prints' a blank first page then sucks it back in and prints the document on the reverse side, regardless of duplex settings.

[Bug 286014] Re: kde print ignores duplex & copy options
I don't know what to think. I am using KDE 4.3.0 which I assume is based on QT 4.5 but the printing problem is still the same. When I try to print, the printer refuses to print because it was told to print on A4 even if US Letter is selected in the printing dialog. I understand that this is not a KDE issue, but if important bugs like this fail at getting fixed in a one year span, I start to be suspicious about the whole set of libraries KDE is based on. Why did the people at QT insisted to make the printing dialog if it lacks features and is buggy? -- kde print ignores duplex & copy options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 286014] Re: kde print ignores duplex & copy options
Please let me follow up with duplicate bug 328988, advocating again that until the print system in KDE 4 is in shape, a fallback should be provided. This can be 1) kdeprint from kde 3.5.10 that is already packaged for ubuntu since there is a kubuntu jaunty derivative based on KDE 3.5 2) the print dialogue application from xubuntu 3) the gnome print dialog application Where 1) appears to me as the most obvious choice. IMHO it is wrong to say that shipping kdeprint from KDE 3.5 would not help KDE 4 applications: Case: Mr. A wants to print only the odd pages of a document from a KDE 4 application (or multiple copies of the document, or an n-up doc). Using only KDE 4 apps, simply he cannot. Best option today: print to pdf and then do the real printing with the *non free* acrobat reader that has odd-even page selection. This is what I have seen all people doing. With kdeprint from kde 3.5 one would be able to first print to pdf from the kde4 app and then simply print the pdf with kdeprint. No need to rely on non-free software anymore. And of course kdeprint from 3.5.10 would help all those non-kde application that want to be provided a command for printing since kde 4 has nothing to offer here (think of emacs, tgif, CAD stuff, ecc.). -- kde print ignores duplex & copy options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

[Bug 286014] Re: kde print ignores duplex & copy options
Okular cannot currently do anything to print more than one copy at a time when printing PDF, PS, DjVU, and DVI. The reason is simple: the Qt printing system is "smart enough" to actually think that it can use CUPS "copies" feature, so it always exposed the information that only 1 copy is needed. Given the inflexibility of the Qt printing system, we currently have to take the information from it, and invoke lp* manually. Thus, if you do 2+2 it can be understood that Okular always knows about 1 copy to provide. -- kde print ignores duplex & copy options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still experience this bug in Intrepid final using KDE 4.1.3 (but also experienced it in 4.1.2).

[Bug 286014] Re: kde print ignores duplex & copy options
First, this is not a bug in system-config-printer-kde. system-config- printer-kde only serves for setting up and modifying print queues. It does not provide the printing dialog for KDE applications nor any other functionality for printing jobs out of applications. To check whether CUPS does not cause the problem by somehow not obeying the option settings I have sent a job as you like to have via the command line: lpr -P duplexprinter -# 2 -o Collate -o page-ranges=1-2 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble atleasttwopages.pdf This job came out correctly: Two copies in Duplex. I have also tried to reproduce your problem with Okular, and I got indeed only one copy, but at least Duplex. So there must be a bug in Okular or in the KDE printing dialog. I assign the bug to kdebase as this package most probably provides KDE's printing dialog. By the way, my printer is the HP LaserJet 3390, used with HPs PostScript PPD file as it is shipped with Ubuntu. ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: system-config-printer-kde => kdebase -- kde print ignores duplex & copy options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
